Vallejo man arrested in shooting death of Richmond teen

Vallejo police released the identification of the latest fatal shooting victim Monday.

Gary White, 17, of Richmond was shot to death early Sunday in the Glen Cove area, Lt. Jim O'Connell said.

The father of a Vallejo teen allegedly shot White after a fight between him and his son at a party, police said.

Lt. Sid DeJesus said Sunday that Randee Damar Williams Sr., 44, of Vallejo, was arrested on suspicion of killing the Richmond teen at about 3:35 a.m. in the 300 block of Robles Way in the Glen Cove area.

DeJesus said that a 19-year-old Vallejo teen was in the fight with the Richmond youth as the party in the Robles Way home was winding down. The older youth then called his father, Williams, who came over to the home and eventually shot the boy, DeJesus added.

It was not immediately clear if the 19-year-old was injured in the fight.

Police received multiple 9-1-1 calls, reporting that they heard a vehicle approaching the area, about six gun shots, and then screams.

Upon arrival, police found the teenager's body on the ground outside the home with gunshot wounds in his body and head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers also found about five .40-caliber shell casings at the scene.

Witnesses, including the victim's girlfriend, were taken to police headquarters for questioning.

After further investigation, police identified the suspect and converged at his home in the 1000 block of Thelma Avenue at about 10 a.m., DeJesus said.

Williams was arrested without incident, DeJesus added.

He will be booked into Solano County jail, and the case remains under investigation.

This latest homicide was the 21st in Vallejo this year. These include six fatal officer-involved shootings, a shooting death of an alleged robber by a store owner and the deaths of unborn twins in a quadruple homicide Sept. 6. The number, however, does not include the shooting death of a man in the unincorporated area of Vallejo in January.
